Each child was given crayons and a drawing pad donated by Dick Blick Art Materials www.dickblick.com that they then could take home. They were also given a drawing book, pencil, eraser and pencil sharpener. None of these children had any art lessons before, nor access to supplies like this - but all immediately got to work creating wonderful works of art.

The kids did an amazing job. This is nine year old Mbatha and her black rhino drawing.

Here is Preston, the founder of the Nature Center and Jan's guide, helping the kids. Look at the concentration on their faces!

This is Emma - the youngest of the "artists" - she is in Kindergarten. Watch for more information later this fall on how to purchase one of the calendars to help in this fund raising effort!
